Helen’s theme for today’s Song Lyric Sunday is first. It took me a few minutes (ok, over 30) to turn up something from my play list. I selected The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack. The video is a cover by George Michael with lyrics. One of the all time most beautiful songs, in my opinion.

Oh, good… I’m glad someone used “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” or I’d’ve been upset that I backed off that one. Never knew George Michael did it…

I am surprised that duplicates don’t happen more often on SLS. I had the same thought, ‘someone else will pick this one.’

I’ve actually got George Michael’s version sitting in my ‘to-do’ list of battles. I ran across it after he passed away, and set the info aside for a future date.

I did not put the original lyrics in the post because his version is a bit different. YW.

George Michael does such a wonderful job with this cover. I’ve always liked this song. It was one of my first choices that popped into my head for today’s theme. I’m glad that you chose to do this one.
